Despite the importance of consumers in structuring communities, and the widespread
assumption that consumption is strongest at low latitudes, empirical tests for global scale …

Understanding dietary specialization in herbivores has theoretical and practical implications
in ecology, yet defining niche breadth consistently has been problematic. To increase clarity …

The impacts of climatic change on organisms depend on the interaction of multiple stressors
and how these may affect the interactions among species. Consumer–prey relationships …

Background Among metazoans, retention of functional diet-derived chloroplasts
(kleptoplasty) is known only from the sea slug taxon Sacoglossa (Gastropoda …

Background The impact of predator-prey interactions on the evolution of many marine
invertebrates is poorly understood. Since barriers to genetic exchange are less obvious in …

The Caribbean is a biodiversity hotspot for photosynthetic sea slugs, with about 27
described species in the genus Elysia Risso, 1818. However, many species are poorly …

Predicting the impact of carnivores on plants has challenged community and food web
ecologists for decades. At the same time, the role of predators in the evolution of herbivore …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 506–515 Abstract The translocation of species beyond their
native range is a major threat to biodiversity. Invasions by tree‐feeding insects attacking …

Modern speciation theory is heavily influenced by Mayr's postulate that prolonged
geographical isolation is necessary for differentiated populations to evolve reproductive …
